Glory to God, Glory - Rivers

This is a chorus-and-verse style hymn of glory. It was written by Afro-American Roman Catholic priest, Fr Clarence Joseph Rufus Rivers (1931–2004).

The song was first released in American Mass Programme, recorded by World Library Of Sacred Music in 1963 (ref). Second-hand copies of the accompanying sheet music are sometimes available from Amazon or other booksellers - but they do appear to be rare. No currently in-print sources have been located.
